I remember vaguely that about two decades ago Greg Stein hatched an idea for code objects loaded from a read-only segment in shared libraries. I believe we went as far as ensuring that the interpreter could read bytecode from other things that strings, and I vaguely recall seeing a design for a layout of the code object as well. But the idea was never consummated, and I think there were unsolved problems regarding reference counts and constants incorporated in the code object. The objectives were the same as the subject line of this thread, and I believe so were the objections.
